A scene from All the President's Men 1976
Woodward

Segretti crisscrossed the country, at least a dozen times. And always stayed in cities where there were Democratic primaries.

Bernstein

So if the break-in was just one incident in a campaign of sabotage that began a whole year before Watergate...

Woodward

Then for the first time the break-in makes sense.

Bernstein

This isn't so crazy. This whole thing didn't start with the bugging of the headquarters.

Woodward

Segretti was doing this a year before the bugging.

Bernstein

And a year before, Nixon wasn't slaughtering Muskie, he was running behind Muskie, before Muskie self-destructed.

Woodward

If he self-destructed!
